"ON-POINT" would be a nice change...by all means. :)

It starts with things like this V - pay particular attention to the emboldened section:

The Posse Comitatus Act is a United States federal law (18 U.S.C. § 1385) passed on June 18, 1878, after the end of Reconstruction, with the intention (in concert with the Insurrection Act of 1807) of substantially limiting the powers of the federal government to use the military for law enforcement. The Act prohibits most members of the federal uniformed services (today the Army, Navy, Air Force, and State National Guard forces when such are called into federal service) from exercising nominally state law enforcement, police, or peace officer powers that maintain "law and order" on non-federal property (states and their counties and municipal divisions) within the United States.
The statute generally prohibits federal military personnel and units of the National Guard under federal authority from acting in a law enforcement capacity within the United States, except where expressly authorized by the Constitution or Congress. The Coast Guard is exempt from the Act.

I'm not sure that applies. It sounds as if the military cannot enforce something which the state of local agencies currently have reasonable control of, but the border is "controlled" by the fed - the Border Patrol and ICE, and the fed has also let it be know that this is their territory.

Get Congress to set up a buffer zone that will be the responsibility of the military only. A lot of the Mexican and the Canadian borders are rivers, canyons and lakes etc. It will be good training for the troops.

You mean, like the Korean DMZ?

Now, there's an idea.

Yes. It would be a bit onesided though. It's a win win.:)

That alone would disqualify it.

There are millions of people living in towns that are in the border.

Truman, Hoover and Eisenhower did it to create jobs for the troops coming home. Does 'Wetback' ring any bells from your history lessons?

If they're illegal aliens, yes.
